Hello and happy Sunday. Hope everyone is having a great weekend! We had a fun one…went to Shelter Island again to visit friends, had. big group dinner last night and today will play pickleball and then are invited to the Hampton Classic today, but we are not sure if we are going (major traffic on Sundays) but I try to go every year and its so much fun. Hard to believe Labor Day is next weekend! Schools are back. Halloween decor is everywhere and basically summer 2026 is coming to a close. I am going to make these last 2 weeks count!
This summer has been about all work, and little downtime so the time I am able to spend doing fun relaxing things is that much more meaningful. OK, enough about me, moving on to my post this Sunday……….
________________________________________________
1 NYC DESIGN PROJECT UPDATE My NYC project is really humming along and we are just so thrilled with ow its coming out. It was exciting to start wallpaper about a week ago and that was the big highlight! Furniture will start trickling in next month for at least 3months so realistically i will probably be Dec or so when we really have it all together, but so far things are looking awfully pretty!
Trim work getting done in living room!
The most beautiful cabinet color in lacquer to replace the green…what a difference
The makings of a beautiful playroom!
Master bedroom vestibule entrance, love the way its coming along
Most handsome boys room
Dreamiest little girls room loading…..
Dining chair options (a beautiful mural going in there)
2 A STUNNING HOUSE TOUR. A beautiful, classic home in California. I actually follow her, her family owns a wonderful winery. Love. how they combined their styles of California and Cape Codd. Classically beautiful.And I totally agree about what she said about southern hospitality.
3 INSTAGRAMS OF INTEREST Such a beautiful round up!
4 OUR INCREDIBLE LIFELIKE ORCHIDS If I had a dollar for every time someone walks into my home and compliments me on my “green thumb”. I can’t keep a secret and always confess they are our own faux orchids. I must say they are incredibly lifelike, and the way we finish them with bamboo stakes and moss patches makes them that much more realistic. we sell them both in our containers and as “drop ins” meaning they come in their own moss ball and you can literally drop it into your favorite container. We offer them in white and pink, 2, 3 and 4 stems. We have done much larger ones too those are special order. We once did a 12 stem for a big foyer and must say it was spectacular!
These do not get enough attention so I thought I would share them with you today. I will admit I have gotten a little lazy, used to buy real orchids all the time dand many did survive a fairly long time but with little time…these are just so easy!
5 MAKEUP FOREVER THAT I WILL USE FOREVER! This is hands down the best foundation and concealer I have ever used.I think I spoke about this a while backbit have to say again, but its SO good and its no wonder it is a favorite month many celebrity makeup artists. I do’t wear foundation every day but when I do i often get compliments on my skin. It is velvety smooth and worth the hype. It really does live up to its reoccupation! Cannot sing the praises of these products highly enough.
I use shade IN14 which is one of the most popular shades, its a soft neutral that offers a slight warm glow.
And then I tried their concealer and it’s another phenomenal product! In fact I use this almost daily now, when I am not using foundation, just a few dabs where I need it. Excellent natural coverage and it lasts through y pickle ball game! I used shade 1N10
6 A FEW GREAT DOCUMENTARIES I have a wide breadth of interests when it comes to movies and documentaries and I love so many genres. Documentaries might be among my favorite and I watch them in clusters. Here are a few interesting ones that came across my radar lately….
7 SUNDAY’S SURVEY They say more and more Americans are getting and relying on their news through sources like social media, TikTok, Facebook, X etc….than they do legacy news. They now say bout 50% of Americans rely upon social media vs legacy news with the number growing. Would imagine that number is significantly higher with the 30 and under crowd.
I am curious how many of you fit in that? I watch less traditional news and have to be honest learned about things more extensively and always faster on platforms like Tiktok. A story that will start making the rounds on traditional news will often happen a week or more later. It is an interesting phenomenon and change in our times. Where do you fall?
And that my friends, is a wrap! I hope you enjoyed my post and if anything resonated, would love to hear about it. I always enjoy hearing from you. I hope everyone has a fabulous and relaxing Sunday. Until next time…
A lot to love here. Your NYC project is incredible. They are in talented hands, love all the papers!
Your orchids I can attest are that good, I bought two from you. My husband almost watered them when I first ordered them.
Thanks for the movie suggestions. My daughter is studying ballet so she will enjoy that one.
I don’t watch the news the way I used to, it is too depressing. Our country is in the toilet with no end in sight. It breaks my heart on a daily basis. Love your Sunday blogs.
